Y COLLAR WRAPPER.

Application led .Tune 6,

To all 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, EDMUND F. JANTZ, a citizen of the United States, anda resident oftheeity of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a CollarWrapper; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,and exact description ofthe same, reference being had /.to vtheaccompanying drawings, and tothe numerals of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to special packages of the sort used to delivermerchandise and is particularly adapted. for holding a few collars.

It is-an object ofthis invention to provide a Wrapper into which thecollars maybe easily and quickly inserted` and which can be closed aboutthe collars with the least expenditure of time and effort.

It is a further object of this'invention to provide a wrapper whichbefore it is applied to the collars can be kept in a substantially l'latform.

It is a further object of this invention to construct such a wrapper ofa sheet material of an inexpensive kind.

@ther and further important objects of the invention will be apparentfrom the disclosures in the specication'and the accompanying drawings.

The invention (in a preferred form) is shown in the drawings andhereinafter more fully described.

On the drawings: Y y

Figure l is a plan view of the wrapper in its fiat condition.

Figure 2 is an end view of the wrapper with the collars containedtherein.

. Figure 3 is a central section of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a radial section of Figure 2 with the end portions of thewrapper turned into final position. I

As'shown on the'drawings':

The wrapper comprises a sheet 1 of relatively stiJ material such ascardboard or pasteboard, or even heavy manila paper. This sheet forms anoblong having near each end a slot 2 at right angles to the long di-1921. serial No. 475,195;

mension of the oblong. The'seslots enter fromopposite vedges and formtongues or tabs 3. Secured to eachy long edge of the sheet l isarectangle of more flexible material suchas tissue paper or thin wrappingpaper forming a pair of end closures 4 and 5.

In using the device the two end portions 3 are brought around and causedto interlock'with one another by means of the slits 60 2, as shown at 6in Figures 2 and 8, forming a cylindrical shell. The collars or otherarticles to be contained within the package are then put into thecylindrical shell, as

illustrated in Figure 2. In the case of coly lars it is done by rollingthe collars together vuntil they are of sufli'ciently small diameter tobe contained within the shell, the ends of the collars overlapping, asshown at 7. Preferably the width of the oblong l is suficient to morethan extend from the bottom 8 to the top 7.of a standard collar as isillustrated in Figure 4. When the collars have been placed within thereceptacle the flexible portions 4 and 5 are tucked in at each' end 75until they form an inner covering for the' collars as shown in Figure 4.Thepackage is then ready to deliver to the customer and need not be tiedby a string or secured in any further manner.

I am aware that changes in construction may be made and materials variedwithout departing yfrom the principles of this invention, and I' do notpurpose therefore limiting the patent granted otherwisethan necessitatedby the prior art.

I claim as my invent-ion:`

1. Ina collar container,a strip of sti? wrapping material having slotsnear each end thereof at right angles to the length of said stripwhereby said ends may be secured together, and. wings of flexible'wrapping material attached to the long edgesI of said strip and stoppingat said slots, the width of said strip being greater than the heightof'a standard collar and the length being less than the circumference ofsuch a collar.

2. In a collar container, a strip of sti wrapping material having slotsnear each end thereof vat right angles to the length of 190` said stripwherein;7 said ends may be secured together, and wlngs of flexible wraping material attached to the long edge o said stri and sto ping at saidslots, the width of sai wings Eeing sufficient to allow' them to overlapagainst the inside, surface f the collars When tucked linto the centralpart of the peckege.`
